Re: Binoculars Zeiss or Swarovski?

Scince everyone's eyes are differant, the best is a subjective term. Best thing to do is go to a pro shop that carries them both and let YOUR eyes tell you what is the best. I am a swaro fan, but because my eyes love em. Some others will get along with the ziess better.

Long range shooting is a process that ends with a result. Once you start to focus on the result (how bad your last shot was, how big the group is going to be, what your buck will score, what your match score is, what place you are in...) then you loose the capacity to focus on the process.

I have used both for hunting.The Swarovski are a little better in low light,and a little less glare when glassing near the sun.But this comes at a cost,around 750.00 more in price,and 11oz in wieght.The Zeiss in my humble opinion are a better pair of binoculars for hunting.The two reasons are price and size.
If price is not object,and you also need a range finder,I would look at the 10+42 Leica Geovid Laser rangefinding Binocular.These are a very nice setup.(There on my wish list)
